Comment:
Thanks for this ticket, however I'm skeptical. We've already had doubts
about using `DJANGO_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD` in the `createsuperuser`, see
#27801. In the end we accepted #27801 because creating a new superuser can
be complicated which is not the case in changing a password. You can
create a custom command in your project or use a small standalone script:
{{{
UserModel = get_user_model()
user =
UserModel._default_manager.db_manager('default').get(username=username)
user.set_password(new_password)
}}}
Please first start a discussion on the DevelopersMailingList, where you'll
reach a wider audience and see what other think, and
